‘Mr. Robot’ Streaming Goes Exclusively to Amazon Prime, Season 2 News
USA's hit new hacker drama "Mr. Robot" was the second biggest show of the summer, and now fans have a new reason to be delighted with news of the show getting an exclusive streaming home on Amazon Prime. It was only second best this summer behind the highly anticipated August release of AMC's powerhouse franchise spinoff "Fear the Walking Dead."
The streaming platform has locked in the show as the exclusive place for binge watching "Mr. Robot." But that does not mean the show will not be available via video al-a-carte services like iTunes and Vudu, according to The Verge.
The hit show was so impressive for USA network that it renewed the series for a season 2 before they even aired the first episode this summer. Given the extremely intense nature of events on the final episode, as well as the penultimate episode, Season 2 is poised to be an explosive opener for the series.
According to Deadline, the show's second season will play exclusively off the cliffhanger storylines leftover from season one. Season 1 spoilers below.
What fans learned of Elliot is that he is not only taking part in his own deranged psyche, but rather trying to kill off the part of him that torments him the most.
"He has a dissociative identity disorder," series creator Sam Esmail told Deadline. "There are archetypes. People who suffer from this disorder sometimes have a mother figure at play or a father figure."
But that will play largely into the victory, or what appeared to be a victory, for the show's protagonist group fsociety.
"Because fsociety in essence succeeded, I wanted to let audiences know that there wasn't necessarily a victory, rather something larger at play," Esmail said. "There are chess moves higher up, higher than the biggest conglomerate on the planet. I wanted the looming threat of something more devious."
Season 2 is expected to premiere next summer with a weighted load of episodes, but no details have been released about that yet.
